根據學術的定義及西方人的定義,不管你信天主教或基督教,你都係基督徒。因為天主教(Catholicism)及更反教(Protestantism,中國人稱為基督教)都是廣義的基督宗教(Christianity)的一部分。
用英語方式表達如下:
Christianity = Roman Catholicism + Protestantism + Eastern Orthodoxy
Catholicism is not equal to the Christianity
Protestantism is not equal to the Christianity
Christian includes the Catholic Christian, Protestant (Protestant Christian), and Orthodox Christian.
